Urban storm runoff study conducted in the central Arizona-Phoenix area: study site locations
Flood is the other major disturbance on which CAP LTER will focus. In collaboration with the USGS, we have begun a study to examine the transport of materials from urban patches to waterways during the intense, localized storms that characterize this region. Their existing data, plus new studies initiated in summer 1998, will form the basis for comparison of urban, suburban, and desert catchments in terms of their yields of nutrients, organic carbon, and metals.
Scorpions in urban environments in the Central Arizona-Phoenix area: site locations
Determination of what degree of human modification influences the frequency of scorpion stings by looking at the number of scorpion stings in different zip code areas of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Results from this study may be useful in making recommendations on land development so scorpion stings are minimal.
Effects of urban horticulture on insect pollinator community structure in the central Arizona-Phoenix area
Insects that pollinate flowering plants are often considered "keystone species," animals that play extremely important roles in ecosystem functioning such that their absence would have more widespread and far-reaching effects than their abundance alone would indicate. For example, the absence of pollinating insects would translate to a severe reduction in plant reproduction, which would in turn affect not only the plants but also seed-eating animals, herbivorous animals, predators of the herbivores, and so on in a trophic cascade. Such a scenario would impact not only wildlife but also human populations because insects pollinate the majority of human food-plants. While the importance of these relationships is acknowledged, surprisingly, little is known about how insect pollinator communities are affected by environmental changes, such as global climate change or urban development. There has recently been a call for research on insect pollinator communities, citing a pressing need to obtain baseline information in the face of probable future environmental changes. The Sonoran Desert has one of the most diverse insect communities in the world (particularly for members of the Order Hymenoptera [bees, wasps, and ants], which perform the lion's share of pollination duties for both native and crop plants). This community may be threatened from the presence of the exotic honeybee and from habitat alteration in the form of urban development. We propose to conduct a pilot study to examine how the pollinator community differs under different forms of urban land use in the Phoenix metropolitan area. We have three research questions: (1) How does the ratio of native species to the exotic honeybee differ among natural desert, urban desert remnants, and residential areas that also have flowering plants? (2) How does insect pollinator community structure (richness and abundance) differ among natural desert, urban desert remnants, and residential areas? and (3) How does insect poll
Landuse classification map for the Central Arizona-Phoenix area for the year 2000
The simplified classification of Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) land use map is created by combining the original land use categories into 5 major classes - urban, agriculture, recreation, desert, and other. This has been done for land use/land cover monitoring purposes and to compare the 2000 land use map with historic land use layers including the 1995 MAG land use map.
Ecology Explorers educational data: arthropod data from multiple school locations in the central Arizona-Phoenix area
The Sonoran Desert has one of the most diverse native plant species and animal species of any desert in the world. Many arthropods (insects, spiders, scorpions) are adapted to living here and are part of food webs that include animals and plants also adapted to desert living. Phoenix is an ever-expanding urban area within the Sonoran Desert. Scientists are studying the impact of this urbanization on arthropod communities. How has urbanization affected the number and diversity of arthropod species? Are there areas within urban Phoenix which attract more arthropods?
Ecology Explorers educational data: bird data from multiple school locations in the central Arizona-Phoenix area
The Sonoran Desert has one of the most diverse native plant and animal species of any desert in the world. Many birds are uniquely adapted to living here and they are part of food webs which include animals and plants that also are adapted to desert living. Phoenix is an ever-expanding urban area located in the Sonoran Desert. CAP LTER scientists are studying the impact of this urbanization on bird communities. o Which birds are living in the Phoenix metropolitan area? o Which landscape designs attract which types of birds? o Are there different kinds of birds in different urban landscapes (residential, commercial, parks)? To answer these questions ecologists are conducting surveys of bird populations throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area. Your school can be part of this process by conducting your own bird surveys within your school yard and sending that information to scientists at ASU.
Ecology Explorers educational data: bruchid data from multiple school locations in the central Arizona-Phoenix area
The Sonoran Desert has one of the most diverse native plant and animal species of any desert in the world. Many trees are uniquely adapted to living here and they are part of food webs that include animals and insects also are adapted to desert living. Phoenix is an expanding urban area located within the Sonoran Desert. One Sonoran Desert plant that has found its way into urban landscapes is the palo verde tree. In the desert, this tree supports a community of animals including bruchid beetles. These insects lay their eggs on palo verde seedpods and the larvae feed on the seeds. The interactions between plants and animals can provide vital information on the health of an ecosystem. Ecologists are interested in determining whether the interactions between urban Palo Verde Trees and bruchid beetles is similar or different than their interactions in undisturbed Sonoran Desert communities. You can provide important data by investigating the palo verde trees and bruchid beetle populations in your schoolyard.
Three year average ozone concentrations within the central Arizona-Phoenix area, period 2003 to 2005
These data is part of the effort to provide the most detailed data on air quality in CAPLTER. This dataset represents spatially interpolated ozone (O3) levels as measured by monitroring stations of the Maricopa County Air Quality Department. O3 is a naturally occurring compound in which three oxygen atoms combine together. This is an unstable combination, and ozone is continually going through a natural cycle of being formed and then converting back to the more stable 'normal' double oxygen compound (O2). The cycle occurs fairly rapidly. In the stratosphere (6 miles and more above the earth), naturally occurring ozone has a beneficial effect of screening out harmful ultraviolet light from the sun. However, ground-level ozone is a pollutant and is a major component of the brown haze that is often observed in the Maricopa County valley. Ozone is not directly emitted into the air, but rather forms in a complex reaction that involves heat, sunlight, and a 'soup' of toxic pollutants, especially volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Some of the most common sources of VOCs are gasoline vapors, chemical solvents, and combustion products of fuels and consumer products. Ozone is created by sunlight acting on nitrates (NOX) and VOCs from motor vehicles and stationary sources, and can be carried hundreds of miles from their origins. Ozone affects the respiratory system in people and animals, and also affects the growth of plants.
Ecology Explorers educational data: vegetation data from multiple school locations in the central Arizona-Phoenix area
The Sonoran Desert has the most diverse native plant species of any desert in the world. Many plants are uniquely adapted to living here and they are part of food webs that include animals and insects that also are adapted to desert living. Phoenix is an ever-expanding urban area located within the Sonoran Desert. Scientists are studying the impact of this urbanization on plant communities. Over the past 100 years, people have removed a lot of native vegetation and planted nonnative plants, trees, and shrubs. But there are still some desert remnants areas that have been preserved as Sonoran Desert landscape within the Phoenix metropolitan area. CAP LTER scientists are conducting plant surveys across the Phoenix Metropolitan area. They will be comparing the survey results to studies done 20 years ago. They also are interested in comparing vegetation in desert remnants to that in residential areas, parks, golf courses and vacant lots. You can participate in this study by comparing schoolyard and/or backyard data to desert remnant data and sharing this informationwith CAP LTER scientists. You may also decide to correlate your vegetation studies with the LTER Ecology Explorers bird and insect studies.

Phoenix Area Social SurveyASS II Phoenix Area Social Survey II - performed during 2006 in the Central Arizona-Phoenix area
PASS is an interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers affiliated with the Central Arizona-Phoenix LTER (CAP LTER) and the Decision Center for a Desert City at Arizona State University. PASS uses social surveys of individuals in selected neighborhoods as methodology to explain the choices and actions of households and communities that influence the biophysical environment and the feedbacks of the environment to the quality of human life. After a successful pilot study in 2001-2002, data gathering for a much larger survey of 800 households in 40 neighborhoods is nearly completed. PASS 2006 is the benchmark for planned long-term social monitoring that will complement ecological monitoring in the CAP LTER study region

Transect bird survey with data synthesis from multiple transects in the central Arizona-Phoenix area: period 1998 to 2000
Bird surveys are conducted along transect lines located in various locations within the CAP LTER study area, with particular emphasis on golf courses, new and old residential areas, and desert remnants. Birds are being surveyed by both LTER researchers and by local interest groups and individuals (e.g., Maricopa Audubon Society). A new interactive bird population web site is now posted. One can obtain results for bird censuses that have been going on since 1 May 1998. Volunteers in combination with LTER birders have been censusing birds in over 70 transects located throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area. The goals of this project are (1) to document the changes in avian richness and abundance over time and space, and (2) to determine the biotic/abiotic factors and socioeconomic/political factors that cause these changes to occur. We have developed a census protocol and have started conducting bird censuses in four key habitats in the CAP LTER study area.
